Here’s your Final Four




Let's see here, I have one, tw.....no, just one team in from my original Final Four. Awesome. It's irrelevant though, most of the people I know had their bracket's ruined long ago. It should be an interesting couple of games though. Michigan St. and UNC get in, AGAIN. Villanova makes it's first appearance since 1985. And Connecticut, amid scandal, has been the most impressive team in the tournament. That being said, I really like the Huskies to come out on top. Michigan State has been playing over their head for the entire tournament and it's about time they get a wake-up call. And that wake-up call will be in the form of Hasheem Thabeet. Although, I still maintain that he is the most overrated player in the country, he is 7'3 and has hands the size of folding chairs. Obviously, I would love to see Villanova beat North Carolina. There would be nothing better than an all Big East final. But in reality, UNC hasn't seen a whiff of competition since the tournament started because of their suffocating defense and Ty Lawson.
I don't know what to make of UNC in terms of pro talent. Clearly, Tyler Hansbrough will be, at best, a sixth man off the bench who gives coaches hustle minutes and will probably lead the league in "things that don't appear in the box score". Things like diving for a ball, setting a solid screen, or crying at an official. Ty Lawson is an incredible college talent, but I can't see him doing the same things in the NBA. Currently, he has an McDonalds All-American at every position around him. He doesn't pass or shoot like Chris Paul, and he doesn't have the size of someone like Deron Williams. Out of all the starters for North Carolina, my belief is that Wayne Ellington will come out as the most successful professional. He may not be as tall as Richard Hamilton, but he in on par shooting wise. Any team in the NBA is looking for a mid-range jump-shooter who isn't afraid to handle the ball.
